Okay, without further ado, here’s the next evolution of my code. I want to point out that I’m blogging as I’m going – if you follow along with this step and things don’t work… well, maybe they didn’t work for me, either. Learning process! Stay tuned, if that’s the case :), and we’ll explore my mistakes together.
I’m going to …

Did you catch my interview on Microsoft TechNet Radio? It’s downloadable from http://channel9.msdn.com/Showpost.aspx?postid=236347 if you’d like to listen; they’ve done a series of scripting-releated episodes recently – be sure to check ’em out.
I’m very pleased and excited to announce that SAPIEN Press’ first print book, Windows PowerShell: TFM?, is off the presses! We’re expecting the books to begin shipping to our Napa, CA headquarters this week. Hopefully they’ll arrive sometime just after the New Year, and we’ll begin fulfilling orders.

Earlier, I gave you a VBScript wrapper that you could use to run PowerShell scripts as scheduled tasks and be completely hidden from the user. If you want to run a PowerShell cmdlet expression instead of a .ps1 script, you need to take a slightly different approach.

Const pi = 3.1416
Const r = 2.5
WScript.Echo Main()
Function Main()
Dim result
Dim str
str = “result=pi*(r*r)”
Execute str
